It's not that difficult, if you have the correct tools.

I would only recommend doing it yourself if you have had a bit of experience of bleeding brakes, changing discs etc.

The instructions included with the kit are pretty good. You will need a set of vernier measuring calipers to check the clearance between the disc and brake caliper after fitting (if it's not right, you need to take the caliper off and put the correct thickness shim in place and then re-check. This is the hardest part IMO).

Only real gotcha to watch for is as you remove the disc - protect the ABS sensor - they can become damaged

It is really not hard.

I did mine. It is all quite straight forward, to bleed the brakes I bought a twin nipple kit from Halfords.

Any even quarter decent garage should be able to do it.
